Presentation on the proposed budget cuts to schools & their likely impact on class size
May 23, 2022
Below is the presentation I gave to the ECC on the proposed budget cuts to schools and the capital plan and their likely impact on class size and school overcrowding. Because of the sharp decline in enrollment of the past two years, the DOE has a real opportunity to sustain the smaller classes that are benefiting most students this year, and make them more equitable across the city. Parents need to fight to ensure this happens, rather than let the Mayor cut the budget to schools as he has proposed, which would take our schools backward and cause class sizes to rise sharply once again.
